This Fourth Edition text introduces dimensional analysis as the method for calculating all drug dosages. The use of a single, consistent method for dosage calculations helps eliminate confusion, reduce errors, and build confidence. This book applies the dimensional analysis approach to all three systems of measurement, metric, apothecaries, and household, with an emphasis on recognizing relationships among the three systems. Readers are required to memorize only a few basic equivalents and they're on their way to mastering dosage calculations.
